Unsurprisingly, I have read all these! But, okay, probably you have read it already and maybe just not loved it as hard as I did? But This story's going somewhere (http://jamjar.livejournal.com/99731.html) (42,000 words) by jamjar was my Pete/Patrick gateway story. I loved it so much that I made it part of a special, non-Delicious recs post, where I said:

Have read it 4 or 5 times. This is the story that sold me on bandom. I was drowning in confusion and despair, until I read this ageswap that places Pete in high school with Joe, and Patrick in college with Andy. Pete is his brash, confident, emotional trainwreck self and when he meets Patrick he thinks Patrick's not at all cool, even if he is older and in a band. He steals Patrick's orange juice and goes off to have sex with the bassist who just came off stage. But Joe is convinced that Andy and Patrick would be perfect for the band he and Pete are planning, and when Pete hears Patrick's voice, he's all in. Soon he's Patrick's best friend, with a hatred for Patrick's girlfriend that is *totally* justifiable (yeah, right). The self-delusion in this story kills me every time, and though it's told all through Pete's painfully young and tangled POV, you can read Patrick's reactions so clearly, it almost makes my heart explode. A Patrick POV remix of this story would probably do me in for real. So someone should write that.

Sometimes when I reread it I catch little technical problems, but -- Pete's young and obliviously in love! Patrick is trying to Do The Right Thing! OMG aslfkjdsflkjsaggsj;

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed my Delicious account. After I linked you to it, I sort of got stuck there myself for a few hours, rereading old favourites. *happy sigh*
